Can I be allergic to all milk types?

A few years ago I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy (different from lactose intolerance) meaning no eggs, milk, or cheese. Which happen to be what I consume the most of. The effects aren’t usually that bad; it’s normally just hives or “loose stools” and on the rare occasion my lip will swell up.

But I switched from regular whole milk to almond milk for a while and eventually almond milk started making me feel sick too, so I switched to coconut milk and now I’m starting to feel like that’s also making me sick. My doctor never told me I couldn’t have dairy alternatives but it seems like I’m allergic to them too.

YES !!!.......once I quit milk, it took 30 to notice my allergies fading,and 90 days to complete, str8 from the cow is ok, BUT AVOID it once it gets processed......rice milk, coconut milk, goat milk ok .... BUT not soy, it is a known hormone disrupter........just quit and be done with it....

First of all, I think you misunderstood your doctor, because eggs are not dairy and are not related to milk protein. You may have an allergy to eggs, but it is separate from your allergy to milk.

Secondly, any reactions to alternative milks have nothing to do with your milk allergy. You may have allergies to almonds and coconut, or it may not be a reaction. But the only way to know is to see your doctor for allergy testing. What do you mean by making you feel sick? Are you having allergic reaction symptoms (hives, swelling, etc.?) or just not feeling well?

Have you truly eliminated milk from your diet? Could you be reacting to items with milk in them- baked foods, creams, yogurts, etc.? Milk shows up in some places you wouldn't expect. Look for casein and whey on labels; these are milk proteins.

Well you need to talk to the doc. Obviously they are NOT dairy, but the may contain something else to which you have a reaction. We are not able to decide what your problem is just from your description. those who claim they can may be the most unqualified blow-hards around, or a legit medical person trying to be helpful.
